This Black Lacey beauty is striking on its own. But the pink summer flowers and edible berries are the cherry and icing on top. So beautiful and so unique, the Black Lace was named the “Best New Plant” of 2006 at the NMPro ANLA New Plant Pavilion. Get this while it’s still available as it is a first time limited introduction in 2006. National Release in 2007. While most plants bloom on average for about for 3-4 weeks, this foliage adds color, interesting texture and wow appeal regardless of flowers all season long.
When it flowers in June, the dark purple foliage will deeply contrast the big pink blooms. Massive 10″, pink flowers cover the plant in midsummer and emit a light lemon fragrance. What a beauty! This is perhaps the coolest new plant ever developed. It looks more like an exotic Japanese maple or a rare Cimicifuga than an easy growing elderberry. The uses for this plant are endless. Grow it as a shrub, as a bold perennial or train it into a small tree. It’s colorful, versatile and easy to grow.
